Juice as a Healer
Juice as a Healer
As we know that the experts have agreed that the number one cause of most diseases is the lack of certain vitamins and minerals in the body. Whereas vitamins and minerals are so abundant in fresh fruits and vegetables around us. But most of us are very hard to eat fruit and vegetables as much as we need. If you are willing or have time to munch a bag of carrots or a bag of spinach a day, then this article is not for you.
Normal Walker (1886 - 1985), the writer's Fresh Vegetable and Fruit Juice, can reach the age of nearly 100 years to practice what he preaches: "The lack of certain elements, such as organic vitamins, from our diet is a major cause of almost every disease," as mentioned in one of his writings.
All cells in the body depend on proper nutrition. Without this nutrient, such cells can not function. To maintain these cells, the food you eat should be digested properly.
To get the greatest benefits of vegetables and fruits, eat fresh. Fresh food that allows the enzyme to work at full strength, thus providing a direct boost to the body's metabolic system.
Why should Juice?
The science community do not know how many vitamins and minerals that we need to be healthy. But experts agree that there mikor-nutrients whose functions are still misteriius. Substances were found in small quantities in all the food fresh.
For example, experts have also learn the benefits of carrots, which contain beta-carotene and vitamin A in large quantities. Scientists have managed to extract these magical ingredients into pills that are ready swallow, which they can maintain heart health and prevent cancer.
But the carrot has other benefits aside from beta-carotene and vitamin A. There are other substances called carotenoids, which you do not find in vitamin pills. You can only find it from a fresh carrot.
But most of us are very lazy to eat fresh fruit or vegetables directly, because it takes much longer to digest fruits and vegetables whole. Juice quickly and efficiently absorbed by the body-sometimes within a few minutes after consumption.
So many properties and benefits of various types of fruits and vegetables fresh and each has different healing properties. Vitamins, minerals, proteins, lipids and carbohydrates that are found in different concentrations, work on the organs and certain diseases.
For example, apple juice with the meat helps to reduce acid crystals that accumulate in the joints become arthritic pain relief. Fennel removes heartburn and watermelon juice can cure colic.
Another benefit, juice help you lose weight and maintain weight loss. Tomato juice can eliminate the addiction to junk food, and sweetened fruit juices will eliminate addiction kuke, cookies, and candies.
Besides fresh fruits and vegetables have high fiber content, which in terms of nutrition called "roughage". The most important function in the channel penceraan is to encourage the movement of food through the intestines. Insoluble fiber can bind cholesterol in the gastrointestinal tract that is not absorbed by the body. Soluble fiber cleans the intestines.
However, because the "juicer" filter out most of the fibers, thus resulting in only liquids only then to get khasit full of vegetables or fruit, take the majority of these fibers and return to your drink. Or use as a mixture to cook a cake or other food. Use to make bread or kur rich in fiber and delicious.
Still related to the previous topic: Juice as a Healer, this time we convey juice recipes for people with Diabetes.
Cabbage, lettuce and celery contain sulfur compounds that balances blood sugar levels. Cabbage, in particular, seems to affect the absorption of dextrose.
Surprisingly, long bean juice that is rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron, potassium, magnesium, and vitamin A seems to help restore the liver, spleen and pancreas that secrete digestive enzymes and insulin. The recipe is as follows:
(Serves 1)
handful of parsley
2 stalks celery
2 Carrots
2 garlic Item
12 Nuts length
1 cup ice
Tabasco (in addition)
Blend all ingredients and drink.
Hopefully what I write below is very useful.

Sweet Drinks Trigger Heart Disease
Sweet Drinks Trigger Heart Disease
For those of you women who like drinking sweet drinks should be more alert. Recent research shows, the habit of consuming sweetened beverages may increase the risk of heart disease.
According to the latest research results presented at the American Heart Association (AHA) 2011 Scientific Session in Orlando, Florida, USA, the Eve who ate two or more glasses of sugary drinks every day, even if they have normal weight, are at increased risk of heart disease and of diabetes. Sweet drinks in question here is carbonated beverages like soda or water with added sugar.
Researchers say previous studies have been reviewed and found an association between sweetened beverages and obesity, high blood lipids, hypertension, and diabetes type 2. But this time a large study showed no association between sweetened beverages and cardiovascular risk factors, the researchers said.
Lead researcher, Dr Christina Shay, as well as an assistant professor at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City to compare the effects of consumption of sugary drinks in middle-aged women and older women.
The results showed that women who drank two glasses or more sugary drinks a day tend to be more likely to have larger waist size and have impaired fasting glucose levels. They are almost four times more likely to have elevated levels of triglycerides - a type of blood fat associated with an increased risk of heart disease.
In a statement, Shay said, women who drank more than two glasses of sweetened drinks a day waist size increases, but not necessarily gain weight.
"Most people assume that individuals who consume lots of sweetened beverages has increased obesity, which in turn, increases the risk of heart disease and diabetes. While it is true, but this study suggests that risk factors for heart disease and stroke remain there even if women do not experience weight gain, "he added.
For this study, Shay and colleagues examined data from 4166 volunteers ethnically African-American, Caucasian, Chinese-Americans and Hispanics who took part in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA). The participants were aged between 45-84 years.
During observations of five years, participants underwent three examinations related to changes in weight, waist size, levels of HDL (good cholesterol), LDL (bad cholesterol), triglycerides, fasting glucose levels, and type 2 diabetes.
Shay and colleagues note, the influence of metabolism Cosmos, sweet drinks are "complex and not homogeneous between men and women".
The researcher explained, women generally need fewer calories than men. So, when they consume sugary drinks portions will look taller so it is more likely to develop cardiovascular disease.
But how exactly these drinks affect cardiovascular risk, and how the biological mechanisms that may be involved, remains unclear and needs further investigation, said the researchers, who plan to follow up these findings.

Lack of water for blood is very dangerous for the body. Therefore, the blood will become thick. As a result, the journey of blood to transport oxygen and nutrients can be impaired.
Blood is thicker it will also pass through the kidney that functions as a filter or a tool to filter toxins from the blood. Kidney has a very fine sieve, so if you have to filter the blood is thick then the kidneys have to work extra hard. It is not possible kidney could be damaged and will eventually have dialysis or in medical language called hemodialysis.
That influence is less water to blood work and kidney. Then what about the brain? Blood is thicker trip will also be hampered as it passes through the brain. In fact, the brain cells consume the most extravagant food and oxygen carried by blood. So that the function of brain cells is not running optimally and can even die quickly. These conditions will increasingly lead to a stroke. Therefore do not let the lack of water!
9 Benefits of Water
1. Streamlining the digestive system

The amount of water in the body decreases, the function of body organs will also be decreased and more easily disturbed by bacteria, viruses, etc.. However, the human body has a mechanism in maintaining the balance of incoming water intake and expenditure. Thirst in every man is a normal mechanism in maintaining the water intake in the body. Water body needs approximately 2 to 2.5 l (8-10 cups) per day. Total water demand is already included water intake from food (such as soup, soup, etc.), beverages such as milk, tea, coffee, syrups etc.. In addition, water intake was also obtained from the metabolism of food consumed and tissue metabolism in the body.
Well, water is also released by the body through urine and sweat. The amount of water released by the body through the urine of about 1 liter per day. If the amount of feces in healthy people spent about 50 - 400 g / day, aimya content of about 60-90% weight of feces or approximately 50-60 ml of water a day.
Meanwhile, water is wasted through sweat and airway in daily maximum 1-liter, depending on the temperature of the surrounding air. Not to mention the expense factor of water through breathing. Someone who has a fever, the water content in the breathing will increase. Conversely, the amount of water that is inhaled through a breathing reduced due to low air humidity around it.
The body will deteriorate if the water content decreases and we do not immediately meet the water needs of the body. U.S. cardiologist, Dr. James M. Rippe gives advice to drink a liter of water for at least more than what is needed our thirst. Because the loss of 4% fluid alone will lead to lower our performance as much as 22%! It is understandable if the loss of 7%, we will begin to feel weak and lethargic.
Just so you know, the more activity the more the water is drained from the body. For that reason, health experts warn not to drink only when thirsty habits much to drink, whether it is hungry or not, is a healthy habit!
If the college in air-conditioned room, it is recommended to drink more because the air is cold and dehydrated the body faster. Many drinks will also help the skin does not dry quickly.

Benefits and History of Maple Syrup from Canada
Maple syrup
If you want to satisfy your sweet tooth, do not forget to consider using maple syrup which contains fewer calories and higher concentrations of minerals than honey. It is available throughout the year at your local supermarket.
Is Maple Syrup?
Maple syrup is one of the many wonders of the world. Yellow viscous liquid with an earthy sweetness and character that made from the sap of sugar, black or red maple. The process of making maple syrup begins by pressing (piercing) the tree, which allows the sap out. The sap is clear it is almost tasteless and very low blood sugar when first tapped. It is then boiled to evaporate the water producing syrup with a distinctive flavor and color of maple syrup and sugar content of 60%. The scientific name for sugar maple trees, from maple syrup is obtained, is Acer saccharum.
Health Benefits
Maple syrup is sweet and we're not just talking flavor. Maple syrup, as an excellent source of manganese and a good source of zinc, which is very good for your health.
Defense Sweeteners Antioxidants
Trace mineral manganese is an essential cofactor in a number of enzymes important in energy production and antioxidant defenses. For example, oxidative enzyme superoxide dismutase, which disarm free radicals generated in the mitochondria (energy production factories within our cells), requires manganese. One ounce of maple syrup has a supply of 22.0% of the daily value for this very important trace minerals.
Maniskan Heart with Maple Syrup
Maple syrup is a sweetener that is quite handy when you try to protect your heart health. Zinc supplied by maple syrup, in addition to acting as an antioxidant, has other functions that can reduce the progression of atherosclerosis. Zinc is required for proper function of endothelial cells and helps to prevent endothelial damage caused by oxidized LDL cholesterol and other oxidized fats. (The endothelium is the inner lining of blood vessels.) Zincjauh low endothelial membranes are more susceptible to injury. In addition, studies have found that manganese deficiency in adults, other trace minerals are sufficiently supplied in maple syrup, the level of HDL ("good" cholesterol) decreased.
Support for Body Immune System
Zinc and manganese are important allies in the immune system. Many types of immune cells seems to depend on zinc for optimal function. Especially in children, researchers have studied the effects of zinc deficiency (and zinc supplementation) on immune response and the number of white blood cells, including specific studies on T lymphocytes, macrophages, and B cells (all types of white blood cells important to the immune defenses). In this study, zinc deficiency has been shown to compromise white blood cell count and immune response, while zinc supplementation has been shown to restore normal conditions. In addition to the role played by zinc, manganese in maple syrup is important because, as a component of SOD antioxidant, helps reduce inflammation, thus supporting healing. In addition, manganese may also act as an immunostimulant.
Men Will Use More first with Maple Syrup
Maple syrup may help to support reproductive health and provides special benefits for men. Zinc is concentrated higher in prostate than in other human tissues, and low levels of zinc in this gland is associated with a higher risk for prostate cancer. In fact, zinc is a mineral used therapeutically by healthcare practitioners to help reduce prostate size. Manganese may also play a role in supporting men's health because, as a catalyst in the synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol, also participated in the production of sex hormones, thus helping to maintain reproductive health.
History
The process of making maple syrup is an ancient tradition in the North American Indians, who used both as food and as medicine. They will make an incision into the trees with their tomohawks and use the skin to collect birch sap. Sap will be summarized into a syrup by evaporation of excess water using one of two methods: plunging hot stones into the sap from the sap or freezing night, following the removal of a layer of frozen water in the morning.
When settlers came to North America, they were fascinated by the traditional process and admiration of the sweetener, which is produced naturally delicious. They developed other methods to reduce the syrup, using iron drill bits to utilize tree sap and then boil the kettle in which the metal is collected.
Maple syrup is the main sweetener used by the colonists since sugar from the West Indies and taxes are very expensive. As sugar became cheaper, and began to replace maple syrup as a sweetener that had relied upon.
Maple syrup-producing trees are found only in regions of North America. Maple syrup producers include Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Quebec, as well as the state of Vermont and New York in the U.S..

Reap the benefits of Milk Cows
COW dairy cattle producing milk is a very dominant compared to other dairy cattle. Dairy cows are very efficient at converting forage in the form of concentrates and forages into milk that are beneficial to health. In developed countries, dairy cow population maintained in the highest, because it is one of the nation's economic powerhouse. Dairy cows produce milk with a perfect balance of nutrients that can not be replaced other foodstuffs.
The Director General of Animal Husbandry No. SK. 17 of 1983, explained the definition of cow's milk is milk that includes fresh milk, whole milk, pasteurized milk, and milk sterilization. Fresh milk is pure milk that does not have the heating process. Pure milk is the liquid that comes from healthy cows udder. Whole milk obtained by milking the correct way, without reducing or adding any other components or materials.
Biologically, milk is physiological glandular secretions udder as food and immunological protection (immunological protection) for baby mammals.
The history of human consumption of cow's milk was started thousands of years BC, when humans began to domesticate milk-producing livestock for consumption results. Areas that have a high civilization such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, and Greece alleged human origin region maintaining dairy cows first.
It is shown from the evidence of the remains of sculptured images of cows and the confidence of local communities who regard cows as sacred animals. At the same time milk has been processed into various products such as butter and cheese. Availability of milk in this modern age is the result of a combination of knowledge about milk that has been thousands of years old with the application of technology and modern science.
Prof. Douglas Goff, a dairy scientist at the University of Guelph, Canada stated, the composition of milk consists of water (water), milk fat (milk fat), and nonfat dry ingredients (nonfat solids). Then, nonfat dry material subdivided into protein, lactose, minerals, acids (citric, formic, acetic, lactic, oxalic), enzymes (peroxidase, catalase, pospatase, lipase), gases (oxygen, nitrogen), and vitamins (vitamin . A, vit. C, vit. D, thiamine, riboflavin). Percentage or amount of each component is highly variable due to factors influenced by various factors such as the (breed) of cattle.
Milk is a food that has a specific component such as milk fat, casein (milk protein), and lactose (milk carbohydrate).
Fat milk
Milk fat percentage varied between 2.4% - 5.5%. Milk fat consists of triglycerides, composed of one molecule of glycerol with three molecules of fatty acid (fatty acid) via ester bonds (ester bonds). Milk fatty acids derived from microbiological activity in the rumen (stomach ruminants) or from synthesis in secretory cells. Fatty acid hydrocarbon chains arranged and carboxyl group (carboxyl group). One example of milk fatty acids are butyric acid (butyric acid) in the form of short chain fatty acids (short chain fatty acids) which will cause the smell of rancid (rancid flavor) butyric acid in milk when it is separated from glycerol by lipase enzymes.
Milk fat are removed from the udder epithelial cells in the form of granules of fat (fat globule) whose diameter varies between 0.1 to 15 microns. Fat granules are composed of grains of triglycerides surrounded by a thin membrane known as the Fat Globule Membrane (FGM) or the membranes of milk fat granules. FGM is a major component of proteins and phospholipids (phospholipid). FGM is one of them function as stabilizers of milk fat droplets in the emulsion with dilute conditions (aqueous) of milk, because milk cow contains approximately 87% water.
Fat milk contains several bioactive components that can prevent cancer (anticancer potential), including conjugated linoleic acid (conjugated linoleic acid), sphingomyelin, butyric acid, ether lipids (ether lipids), b-carotene, vitamin A, and vitamin D. Although milk contains saturated fatty acids (saturated fatty acids) and trans fatty acids are associated with atherosclerosis and heart disease, but milk also contains oleic acid (oleic acid) which has a negative correlation with the disease. Fat milk contains essential fatty acids, linoleic acid (linoleic acid) and linolenic (linolenic acid) which has various functions in the metabolism and control a variety of physiological and biochemical processes in humans (D. Mc Donagh et al., 1999).
Milk protein
Protein in milk reached 3.25%. The primary structure of proteins consist of polypeptide chains of amino acids incorporated peptide bonds (peptide linkages). Some specific proteins make up a protein milk. Casein is the largest protein component in milk and the rest of whey protein. Casein in milk protein levels reached 80%. Casein consists of several fractions such as alpha-casein, betha-casein, and kappa-casein. Casein is one of the organic components are abundant in milk along with fat and lactose.
Casein consumed is important because it contains the amino acid composition of the body needs. In acidic conditions (low pH), casein will precipitate because it has a solubility (solubility) is low in acid conditions. Milk is an important food ingredient, because it contains casein which is also easily digested protein quality (digestible) digestive tract.
Acid casein (acid casein) is ideally used for medical, nutritional, and pharmaceutical products. Besides the food, acid casein is also used in paper coating industry (paper coating), paint, textile, adhesives, and cosmetics.
Heating, provision of proteolytic enzymes (rennin), and acidification can separate casein with whey protein. Moreover, centrifugation on milk can also be used to separate the casein. After the casein removed, then any remaining protein in milk called whey protein.
Whey protein is a protein granules (globular). Betha-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin, immunoglobulin (Ig), and Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) is an example of whey protein. Alpha-lactalbumin is a protein important in the synthesis of lactose and its presence is also a principal in the synthesis of milk.
In the whey protein also contained several enzymes, hormones, antibodies, growth factors (growth factors), and the carrier of nutrients (nutrient transporter). Most of the whey proteins are less digested in the gut. When whey protein is not completely digested in the gut, then some intact proteins can stimulate a systemic immune reaction. This event is known as milk protein allergy (milk protein allergy).
Carbohydrate milk
Karbohirat is an organic substance consisting of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Carbohydrates can be classified based on the number of molecules of simple sugars (simple sugars) in the carb. Monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides are some groups of carbohydrates. Lactose is the main carbohydrate of milk with 4.6% proportion of total milk. Lactose is a disaccharide composed fall into two monosaccharides, namely glucose and galactose. The sweet taste of lactose is not as sweet as other disaccharides, such as sucrose. The sweet taste of lactose is only one-sixth times the sweetness of sucrose.
Lactose milk can affect the osmotic pressure, freezing point and boiling point. The presence of lactose in milk is one of the uniqueness of the milk itself, because the lactose is not present in nature except as a product of the mammary gland. Lactose is a food substance that provides energy for the body. However, it should be split lactose into glucose and galactose by an enzyme called lactase to be absorbed by the intestine.
Intestinal enzyme lactase is an enzyme that is used to absorb and digest lactose in milk. The enzyme is a substance that works as a catalyst for change chemically, with no intervening change in the enzyme itself. If the lack of enzyme lactase in the body, humans would experience indigestion when consuming dairy. Undigested lactose in the colon will accumulate and will affect the balance osmotis in it, so that water can enter the intestines. These events are commonly called lactose intolerance.
At the time of infancy, humans produce a lot of lactase enzyme to digest milk. However, the enzyme lactase is normally reduced at the present time which eventually led to humans are not able to digest lactose. This event usually occurs in someone who is not accustomed to eating fresh milk as part of the daily diet. As a result, when the adult does not have immunity to lactose, so that people will be afraid to consume fresh milk. This can be overcome by changing the milk into other products such as yogurt. In yogurt, the lactose is broken down into simpler with the help of bacteria. Lactose intolerance is caused by genetic influences as well.

Lecturer in biochemistry from Boston University School of Medicine is added, especially green tea may prevent breast cancer caused by environmental factors. However, he recommends that patients who are undergoing radiation or chemotherapy of breast cancer should consult with a physician before he tried to drink lots of tea.
According to a study published in the Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, July 2001 edition, the content of polyphenol compounds in tea are very much a role as protective against cancer. Polyphenols fall into a very potent antioxidant. This compound will neutralize free radicals that cause cancer.
Their own free radicals are formed naturally in the body. These molecules can damage human cells. People suspect that this is one of the molecular causes of cancer, including various types of other diseases such as heart disease and aging.
According to these studies, green tea leaves that have dried consists of 40% polyphenols. In addition to fighting breast cancer, these substances are also believed to reduce the risk of gastric cancer, lung, colon, rectum, liver, and pancreas.

In addition, avocados contain a variety of juices and other mineral substances such as proteins, carbohydrates, unsaturated fat, oleic acid, iron, phosphorus, calcium, folic acid and fiber. Nutrition provides benefits for the health of our bodies. What are the benefits and efficacy of avocado juice?

Avocado is the only fruit that is rich in fat. Although fairly high in fat, avocados can prevent strokes and heart attacks. This is due to the monounsaturated fat in avocado juice. These good fats can lower bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol is needed by our body. In respondents who consumed 1 to 1.5 per day avocado, cholesterol levels fell from 236 to 217. But there are also some people are afraid to consume them because they have a high fat content. Fat content in avocados is 20-30 times more than other fruits. In 100 grams of avocado flesh, there are 16 grams of fat, equivalent to 167 calories. This means the levels of fat in avocados around 16 percent. Not surprisingly, can often be heard saying do not be too much to drink avocados, cholesterol will go up .. We should have nothing to fear, it turns out 63% of the fat content is unsaturated fatty acids. This is comparable to olive oil. This means that the avocado juice is safe for people who are keeping cholesterol levels. Even a study conducted in Queensland, Australia, found that eating half to one-half of an avocado a day can beat low-fat diet that aims to lower the cholesterol the body. Given these findings we do not have to worry anymore drink avocado juice. Fat in avocados include unsaturated fats that do not make us fat and do not lead to high cholesterol. So that the stroke and heart attack can be avoided.
Many people who want to reduce weight away from the avocado fruit. It is true that avocados are one of the fruits of high fat content, about 16 percent. But the actual fat contained safe and even healthy. That's because 63 percent of its constituent elements are unsaturated fatty acids, particularly monounsaturated fatty acids. Because high-fat, avocados are often blamed for obesity. And that's not true, if we are good diet, eating avocados do not need to be a problem. Moreover, avocados contain healthy fats.
Opinion that said drink avocado juice can make our body fat is very counter to the study of the journal 'Diabetes Care', which revealed a person consuming the diet with monounsaturated fats can burn body fat, especially the abdomen. High blood sugar levels can store fat around the belly and hips. However, the presence of monounsaturated fat accumulation could be defeated so that the abdomen and pelvis safe from fat deposits. The more regularly consume avocado juice will be more advantageous, because the more fat shed so there is no buildup of fat in the abdomen and pelvis. On this diet, avocado juice should be made without adding sugar and milk into it, because if you add in with sugar and milk is not able to streamline the body but instead it will make the fat, because fat is not bad from avocados but from sugar and milk. Sweet so we can add it with honey, because honey is also good for the health of our bodies.
The effectiveness of avocado juice lowers levels of "bad cholesterol" also spurred a high fiber content. Soluble fiber in the avocado will absorb excess "bad cholesterol" and throw it with junk food.

Half a medium-size avocado contains 548 mg of potassium, 15 percent higher than the content of potassium in a banana. In the avocado also contains oleic acid, this substance is a powerful antioxidant that can capture free radicals in the body due to pollution. Free radicals in the body will cause a variety of health complaints.
It turns out avocados are also good for pregnant women consumed. Folatnya acid content is needed fetus, so the brain and spine can grow perfectly healthy. One fruit is avocado contains 114 mg of folic acid, has met 30 percent of the adequacy of folic acid daily is recommended. In addition to folic acid, vitamin B-complex content of the other stored in the avocado is vitamin B6. It is important to control the function of the nervous system. Low concentrations of vitamin B6 in the blood easily cause nausea in the first trimester of pregnancy. so eat avocado on a pre-pregnancy and during pregnancy can prevent nausea due to cravings.
According to Prof. dr. Joseph Hersh of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Louisville, Kentucky, USA, trimester I is the formation of the fetal central nervous system, including brain and spinal cord. Infants can suffer from folic acid deficiency heart problems, cleft lip, urinary tract defects, and other limb defects. Research in 1991 also found an association between folic acid and birth defects. Folic-acid deficiency that affects the formation of brain function, nerve, and bone marrow-turns can result in babies who are born deformed. As in other nutritional substances, if the fetus does not get folic acid supply, he will take it from a backup of the mother. This will adversely affect the health of the mother. In addition to anemia, fatigue, lethargy, insomnia (difficulty sleeping), forgetfulness, depression, until the gray hair, the mother is threatened also by the risk of colon cancer, breast, and pancreas.
